DPW accepting ‘Sandy’ debris for free

SANFORD — Now through Saturday, Nov. 17, Sanford-Springvale residents can dispose of brush and debris from Hurrican Sandy at the town’s transfer station on Rushton Street at no charge.

In order to do so, residents must have a current transfer-station permit. If a resident is having someone else dispose of brush and debris for them, then that resident must accompany the individuals who is helping.

In other news, the town’s department of public works will keep to its usual schedule for picking up curbside rubbish and recycling during the week of Veterans Day on Sunday, Nov. 11.

However, the Sanford Transfer Station on Rushton Street and the DPW office on School Street will be closed on Tuesday, Nov. 13. Both will reopen on Wednesday, Nov. 14.

If you have any questions, you may contact the public works department at 324-9135.
